Highlights
Pet care experience
Only watch for one family at a time
We have no pets of our own, so we love to dog-sit for everyone else! We only watch for one family at a time and whatever they do in your home, they can do in our house. Our kids love dogs and our whole family will treat your dog like part of our family. We will take your dog for walks, give them a lot of attention, and follow your instructions exactly as you ask. References available. Will offer a special rate for two dogs from the same family. We have really enjoyed getting to know so many different dogs, and we have done a lot of different things to accommodate their needs! I have gone to pick up a dog to stay at our house when the owner didn't drive, we have brushed their teeth when requested, given medications, followed special diets as provided by the owner, and generally done whatever is asked to make sure their loved one feels comfortable in our home. They will be pampered and get a lot of attention! Dogs are allowed to sleep on our bed, if that is what they prefer at their own home. Big fenced-in yard and they are always supervised when outside. We're about 15 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport, easy to get to the airport after bringing your dog to us. (Some people have left their car at our house and took an Uber to airport and it was cheaper than parking at the airport in the long-term lots! You can leave your car in our driveway if you want!) We're happy to have your dog with us!

Ratings and reviews
Karen was a wonderful sitter, looking forward to working with her again!
Super attentive and communicative, will be rebooking :)
Thanks for watching Midge. She had a great time and came home happy. Karen takes care of Midge’s specific feeding needs. She helped with making sure she was calm during thunderstorms and rain. Always a pleasure.
Midge enjoyed her time with Karen. She came home happy and adjusted right back to the schedule. Karen always does a great job with Midge’s picky eating. Love sending her somewhere I know she is treated very well!
Zenon loved staying at Karen’s house so much, and she got star treatment! I felt so comfortable with Karen taking care of my dog, and love that she offers such a warm caring environment. Would highly recommend and plan to send Ze there again soon!
Another great visit with Karen. Midge always enjoys her time and comes home happy. Karen is able to handle her picky eating issues.

Schedule
Someone is almost always home at our house! Your wonderful dog will have the run of the house and will be supervised outside for potty breaks every 4 hours. Wherever they sleep at home, they can sleep in our home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard and no dogs of our own. We are very protective of our guests! If they use a crate at your home, please bring one with you and we will only crate them if that is what they are used to at your home.
A typical day
We have a great neighborhood for taking walks! We love to play in the backyard and will cuddle in front of the tv if your dog enjoys that. We follow their lead and whatever you tell us they enjoy, we will do our best to keep them happy!
